what was left of the boat
sure they were
with what? smoke signals?
and I'm waiting to see just how Trump will turn this into a personal grift.
..I'd be encouraged if a look were taken at the user/abusers that are in positions of power.
Enough to warrant a second missile.
If course they were, it was their mission and lively hood.
I am sure there was some smoke from two missiles!
It must be exhausting to hate one man so much.
“ the tough guy kill them all supporters” to which you refer to just want the drugs the weak softy, let them all in guy, stopped. Is it so bad to care about all those being killed in this country by this drugs the “tough guy “ is trying to stop?
No I am not God, are you?
His fruits by serving honorably in the military does not exempt and justify is dishonorable service in Congress. He is no congressional hero, is is a disgrace to his office. Yes, we will know them by their fruits.
That was Senator Cotton's view of the video they watched.
The Law of Armed Conflict actually required the Navy to have surface vessels or some other means of rescuing survivors. If they had been obeying the law, they would have taken prisoners and made sure the remaining debris was sunk.
New, new information states otherwise. It doesn’t make any logical sense anyways. As they are drifting in wreckage in open water, you think their next thought, while the US Navy has a target on their backs, is to radio for reinforcements to continue on their mission? Or, more likely, they went into survival mode and had not a thought for the illicit cargo littered about them.
Illicit cargo for which there is no evidence that has been shown. Has any of this cargo been confiscated? What evidence has been presented that these were even "drug boats" or that the people on them were "narco-terrorists?" None of that has been presented as far as I know.
Honestly, I wouldn't surprise me if they tried to grab some of the cargo floating around them. The human brain doesn't always think logically, and "[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse], the boss is going to kill me if we lose this cargo!" is a plausible line of thinking in such a situation. Somewhat like the classic saying about rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. That said, without a functional boat, there's still no chance of them actually going anywhere with it, so whether or not they were trying to collect the cargo isn't relevant to the question of whether two shipwrecked guys constituted a valid military target.
RD, that happened two months ago. It doesn't take much by way of brains to look at that video and say, "Whoa! That one was kind of marginal. If it gets out there'll be a stink for sure. What's our CYA going to be?" Two months on, the "War Department" still hasn't figured it out, they're just thrashing around and making an even bigger stink out of it.
I think it's that these drug runners are terrorists who helped plan and carry out 9/11, and therefore fall under the 2001 AUMF.
What can I say? They're not smart enough even to be effective villains.
As a civilian, what is there to do if one pays to attention to that? We talking flee to different country kind of thing? Protests? I'm honestly clueless here.
